Councillor Wheeler’s family moved to Weyburn in 1973 when he was in elementary school and he has spent the majority of his life in our fair city. Councillor Wheeler had the opportunity to work in many economic fields in the community of Weyburn over the course of his life, such as: retail, manufacturing, construction and eventually the oil industry, where he remains today. He and his wife moved to Red Deer Alberta in 1991 and started their family there before moving back to Weyburn in 1997.

Upon his return to Weyburn, Councillor Wheeler worked for 3 oil companies including his current position as Plant Coordinator with Cenovus Energy Inc. Councillor Wheeler feels fortunate to have been raised in Weyburn and is grateful he had the opportunity to raise his daughter in the same city and wonderful community that he grew up in.

As a councilman, Wheeler is now contributing to his community by working to grow Weyburn’s existing services and amenities.
